Yes! There's not only a "workaround", there's a plain and simple way to use the
Signature (IBM PCLEX) dictionaries with XyWin. And to use Microlytics' French
dictionary with it too, for that matter. Scan your disk for filename PCLEXAM.DLL.
Many European users have it. If not, maybe somebody can Email it to you. It's an
"oversight" (I'm speaking charitably here) on TTG's part that it wasn't included
with the default factory distribution (outrageous and negligent are more
appropriate words for it). It works also in SmartWords, believe it or not. I've
been assembling a detailed document to indicate how to install and use it, but --
priorities, priorities. Soon.
